D-Wizz 2.0

About Me

D-Wizz 2.0 was founded in 2005 by Brisbane drummer D-Wizz and guitar playing partner Dario Western. They started out as a twee lo-fi jangle pop outfit in a similar vein to The White Stripes and The Whats, but eventually decided to become a three piece with Chris Jones on bass in 2007. Chris helped re-write some of the songs to give them a more unique spark, but in 2008 decided to leave and was replaced by long time friend Mitchell Booth who has collaborated with d-Wizz as White Elephant Snow. The band is veering more towards 70's - 80's New Wave and power punk with songs focusing on things like the decadence of corporate America, chocolate addiction, internet cowards, unemployable folk heroes, and juvenile delinquency as well as love and romance.
